Just one disaster commemorating another disaster.

That's the spirit!

We all wish our lives were as fun as yours.

I watched the BBC National & local broadcast on the Titanic events taking place in Southampton.
The Sea City Looked great.the children looked great & the signs of respect at the berths really showed the people of this city as being a great people full of pride & respect.
Would this have happened if the Socialists had their way? who knows? we had people from every where paying to go into the museum & wanting to come back.
people on the MS Balmoral saying they were visiting the museum as soon as the voyage finishes.
A lady from Portsmouth with nothing but praise for the museum & saying she would come back time & time again so why aren't sections of our population ( city) happy or proud of this great display of our seafaring history?
Love or Hate the Tories this has been a great day of memorial & celebration so come on start shouting about how great this city is & was

Please can people stop bringing politics into this and remember wot the actual event is about: the beginning of a traumatic event that affected most Southampton residents at the time. It's lovely that children now have somewhere 2 go 2 learn more about this sad event and it helps all 2 remember. RIP all those who list their lives 100 years ago on Sat. XxX

Hopefully Royston Smith will be experiencing another sinking feeling in a few weeks when the local election results are announced.

This event has given the City of Southampton a Big Boost in the Media - it is putting the City of Southampton on the map. We need to build on that, not flipping ruin it!

The City of Southampton suffered 25 years of lack of investment, driving business away, no planning, no strategy, wasting money, inertia and incompetence by the previous Labour/LibDem councils. Are you telling me you want that back again?! (I am assuming you live in Southampton!)

I had mixed feelings about it, but agree, politics should be put aside for that day - it doesn't matter who organised it really does it. From what I could see the Sea City musuem looked a bit scant but will reserve judgement until i've been myself and had a look. I was more interested in the Maritime Musuem in Canada really as they seemed to have more artifacts and things like a child's shoes which evokes a whole lot of feelings about the disaster.

Sirens were a really good idea, and it was fantastic that the city remembered the day the ship set sail on it's fateful voyage. I'm not from Southampton originally but can well understand how the disaster affects the City to this day and how many family futures were changed by it.

Well done to all those involved, there is no easy or 'right' way to comemmorate such an event .
